They did not consist of any such matters.

They did not consist of any such matters.\u2019 Al-Mamoon sent the message: \u2018I only want thereby to build confidence in the people by knowing your distinction.\u2019 He continued insisting until the Imam -asws said: \u2018I will appreciate it greatly if you excuse me from such task and if you still insist then I will do this task in the manner that Rasool Allah -saww and Amir-ul-Momineen Ali -asws would do.\u2019 \n \u2018Al-Mamoon then said: \u2018You may do as you choose.\u2019 AI-Mamoon ordered the servants and guides to lead a procession to the door of Abu Al-Hassan -asws (Imam Reza -asws ), saying \u201cAllahu Akbar,\u201d Allah -azwj is Great (beyond description).\u2019 \n People lined up waiting for the Imam -asws on the roads and roof tops, men, women and children.

The guides and people from the army gathered at the door of Abu Al-Hassan -asws (Ali Reza -asws ). At sunrise the Imam -asws took a shower and wore a white turban made of cotton. He -asws let one end of the turban hang over his -asws chest and the other end between his shoulders on his -asws back. \n Imam -asws tied his -asws belt and said to his followers, \u2018Do as I have done.\u2019 Imam Reza -asws picked up an arrow-shaped staff and came out and they went along with him -asws .

He -asws was barefoot and his -asws gown was raised halfway between his feet and knees. When he -asws walked and we walked along with him -asws , he -asws raised his -asws head toward the sky and said, \u2018Allahu Akbar\u2019 four times. It seemed to us as if the sky and the walls responded to him -asws . The guides and the people at the door were ready and armed and decorated with the best dresses. When we came out in such fashion along with Al-Reza -asws he -asws paused at the door briefly.

Imam Reza -asws then said: \u2018Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. He -azwj has Granted us guidance. Allahu Akbar. He -azwj has Granted us the cattle. All praise belongs to Allah -azwj . He -azwj has Granted us blessings.\u2019 We all raised our voices. \n Yasir Al-Khadim has said that the whole Marw (a name of a Place in Iran) shook with the weeping cries and shouts when they looked at Abu AI-Hassan Al-Reza -asws . Many of the guides fell from their horses.

The horses kicked. The guides threw away their boots when they saw Abu Al-Hassan -asws barefoot. Imam Reza -asws would walk about ten steps and pause and say, \u2018Allahu Akbar\u2019 three times.
